PATIENCE.
Stetson's company gave Patience" in ex-
cellent style at City Hall last night. The au-
dience was not as large as it should have
been, but it was a cold evening, with a very
trying wind from the north, and to many
people home firesides looked too attractive
to venture out of doors. The opera was we'll
staged and costumed, and 1be orchestra was
increased by several instruments. The vari-
GUS soloists gained especial favor, and Mr..
Brocolini. as Col Calverly, was heard to
particular advantage Miss Lemont made
very attractive Patience, Miss Stone win
some Lady Angela, and Miss Alice Garlic a
most effective Lady Jane. The grand en- :
semble by the principals, the dragons and
ladies, near the end. of the first act, was so
well rendered it received an encore, and the
curtain was called at the close of that act.
In the second act the several popular num-
bers were warmly recognized. Mr.. Herbert
as Bunthorn, the feshly poet, was very COM
ical, without extravaganza, and he was Wig
orously applauded. Mr.. Stanton was

A Fruitful Incident.

About five years ago young uumar
ried woman of rather good appearance,
living with family in the Fourth dis,
trict, who had been betrayed by some ono
residing in the nelghb )rhood, gave birth
to Il child. About the same time she be-
was found necessary to remove her to the
almshouse. DR.. lamar. who was then
ply sician to the almsuouse, found it i'm
possible to restrain her at that institu
tion and reluctantly ordered her removal
to the Jail. 1t was with great difficulty
that she was brought TO the latter insti.
tuition. On the morning after she was
brought to Jail she was found dead in the
cell in which she was confined. She was
lying with her head in pillow, face
downwards, and it was believed that she
had smothered herself IN this manner.
Dir. lamar felt keenly the poor acco-
modations that he was compelled to give
the unfortun lie insane girl apd of her
horrible death alone in prison cell. He
was SatlSllcu that IL Was an acute case OF
childbed mania, and that if the woman
had had proper care ahd attention she
would have recovered. 1t was on his
testimony that the coroner's jury in their
verdict recommended that proper steps
be taken for the care of the insane by the
county.
Shortly after this DR.. lamar saw in the
Baltimore SIM an article clipped from a
Gettysburg paper about DR.. Neal having
been instrumental in building i'll Adams
county the best local ins tne asylum in
Pennsylvania. He wrote to Dr. Neal
for Particulars, and the latter replying
at length, he was convinced that a
similar asy lum Was needed III Cecil

is certainly entitled to large share OF
what credit Is due for the building of it,

with Il patent net the same as is used by
the summer and fall fishermen i'll catch
lug large rock, perch and other fish.
These nets are laid out or anchored be-
low the surface of the water and it was
discovered that early i'll the fall ducks
that fed on the shallow parts of the flats
would become entan.led in these nets
and be easily captured. This has not
been considered a violation of the law as
no guns were used and as high as one
thousand ducks have been bagged in a
single night and shipped away labeled
fish. Considerable feeling has been
manifested by the regular duckers who
cltim that the means employed has a
tendency to drive the ducks from their
feeding grounds, being frightened by the
splashing of the ensnared ducks, and
there has been some talk of legislation to
govern the matter. 1t is said that the
local gunners are backed in their efforts
to stop this way of ducking by the spolt-
ing men who visit the flats every fall and
winter and spend large sums of money
for the support of duck shooting.

The digestive system is wholly out OF

There may be giddiness and often headache
